Associated with high frequency hearing loss. I've had it for probably 20 years.....24/7. Was deep into my audiophile days (which probably contributed) when it first began. Had an MRI done to rule out acoustic neuroma (benign tumor) which I did not have. I have bi-lateral tinnitus. AN's are more associated with tinnitus only on one side but still quite rare. Sounds like a very high pitched hissing.

Tell her to put her big girl pants on and get on with life. It will blend in with normal life in time. Wear earplugs when mowing the lawn, using leaf blower, riding motorcycle to keep it from worsening. Millions of people have it.
